what do these weigh compared to the stock control arms?

[Mike@PureMS]

OEM is about 4.5lbs, Stern is about 6.9lbs per set of 4 uppers.

[91gl]

OEM is about 4.5lbs, Stern is about 6.9lbs per set of 4 uppers.

please excuse me for my ignorance, but is each oem arm 4.5 lbs or is it 4.5 lbs per set of 4 uppers thus making oem lighter than stern?

[Mike@PureMS]

The weights are for the set of 4 arms. Each OEM arm is a few ounces lighter than the Stern.

[91gl]

ok thanks

Looks like a great product except for the weight.. adding 2lbs of unsprung mass will not improve handling. Would be very nice to have front camber control though.

Will you be offering group buy pricing on a full control arm kit with these arms?

[Mike@PureMS]

Well, it's just a bit over 1lb on each side, and it's not entirely unsprung weight. The inner portion is fixed to the chassis through the upper spring perch so it's not technically entirely unsprung weight. The amount of which you might consider unsprung is a minimal difference, and not something that's even going to be noticeable. It's completely different than adding a lb through a brake rotor, or wheel.


We have complete upper and lower control arm kits on sale through our website now.

a friend of mine just got these for his b5 s4 and absolutely loves them. im not keen on adding any weight but i might just pick up a set of these in the near future. they really are a quality piece

Will you also be offering replacement bushings? Either OEM or urathane?

[Mike@PureMS]

We already offer replacement bushings for these. Poly isn't a good option for these and won't work well unfortunately.

Only a few days left to get in on the preorder price!

[kingofnyc]

Did the ship date got pushed back? When do you expect to ship them?

[Mike@PureMS]

It did. Unfortunately some vendors have been a little slow with their production cycles. We anticipate shipping the 2nd week of December.

[a4b7]

will the price change after the preorder? if so..how much

[Mike@PureMS]

Yes. It will go back to retail of $599.95

[GTMRS4]

damn is it too late to get the group buy price?

[Mike@PureMS]

Nope. Discounted pricing is still on until these are ready to ship out.. Got about a week left to go at least.

[Mike@PureMS]

These will begin shipping on Thursday. Wednesday is the last day to take advantage of the preorder sale!

[imolafem]

I like this kit - but why isn't something offered for the rear on your website? The beefier toe links for the front are great. My rear tires have worse tire wear than the fronts do.

[ginkof]

i just read in a post that there is a group buy for these until August.... is that true? I wouldn't mind picking up a set if so.

[SDchargers]

Mike, will these be able to mount on a C6 A6? I've got a friend putting his car on coil overs soon and doesn't want to have to deal with excessive inner tire wear. I'm just helping him out with the research. I imagine the C6 S6 and RS6 would be the same?

[Mike@PureMS]

Sorry, these do not fit the C6 chassis.
Completely different arms are used. These fit C5 A6 chassis only.

[Spongebob05]

Get them if you can, I ordered mine a few days ago...received 2 days later and installed.....
Compared them to the stock...Stern control arms are far superior than the stock....great product.
Unfortunately, I bought them full price...but IMO it's worth every penny.


And if your car is lowered...it will save your tire uneven wear..like for my S4...it corrected the toes issue, now my front wheels are both even..BIG improvement.
